Boohoo, fring can't piggyback on skype.

While I don't like how skype is acting in regards to android and it's product, fring has to leg to stand to whine about not being able to use skype anymore.

Thems the breaks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] leungda:
Skype has Andorid version but they will not release to public. It is because Skype with an agreement with Verizon Wireless and it will only avaiable to Verizon clients.

How about users outside US. Verizon has no service with another country such as Canada. What can we do? Skype and Verizon are doing something doesn't make sense.

If I live in US, I will never go to Verizon..............

Skype has a deal with UK network 3 I believe. Their HTC Desire has Skype according to their site. :(

those of you who ever used a jailbroken iphone probably know about the ability to set it up as an openssh sever and access it through winscp or whatever so you can move files in and out wirelessly, like a wireless hard drive mode.

anyone know how to get this to work on evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Yup. ADB does all that (just over USB instead of IP). :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daktah:
Yes, im well aware of adb and that's why i asked the question about ssh not adb. I want to do it wirelessly not wired.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
I also want my EVO to print money, make me an island, then turn into a jet and fly me there.

But on a more serious note, have you tried just looking on the market? Just now I searched for "ssh" and the eight hit is "QuickSSHd" which is basically an SSH server for $1.50. Does it support OpenSSH RSA keys? I don't know but it's existence proves that having an SSH server on the phone is possible.

there is another program (cant remember the name) that basically sets up a webserver with webdav on your phone....

My company uses Cisco VPN client with RSA authentication. required to connect is:

-host name

-group name

-password

-and of course the RSA token #.

my Sprint EVO is rooted using simpleroot.

does anyone have a clear set of instructions on how to make this work?

i know you can do this on the iPhone......
[G1 Android Development] Coreburner:
VPN tokens

Does your company issue you a physical token (OTP Token) or are they installing a soft token on the IPhone.
[G1 Android Development] shad0w77:
i have the same question... my company uses a physical token/pin combo...
[G1 Android Development] Coreburner:
No RSA for Android

Short Answer wont work yet, RSA token are the original OTP's but they are all the most complicated and antiquated OTP tech out their right now. It not easy to integrate their Soft token into a mobile client. It took them years to get it to work with IPhone. Their are a few well known company that have soft tokens for Android phone most notably opentrust, active identity and gemalto. Your only alternative would be to implement a SMS otp token system but these are vulnerable to man in the middle attacks.

****You may want to move this out of the DEV section before someone starts throwing a fit.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] scott2121210:
Hi folks

What would be the easiest and most thorough way of backing-up/syncing everything on my Xperia X10? I have read some advice on the SE website but I am unsure whether what they suggest includes absolutely everything on my phone, i.e. downloads from the Andriod Market, contacts, music, pictures, settings, etc.

I previously had a Nokia 5800 which had an in-built backup programme which made a copy of everything onto the memory card.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Scott
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
Latest firmware has a backup tool.

I didn't test it :)

I personally use Titanium but you need root for it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] scott2121210:
Thanks tux Style. What firmware version has this backup tool?

My phone has firmware version 1.6 and build number R1FA016
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] carlonalls:
Yea I like the back up Sony provides in the update.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Batmantis82:
The SE Backup Tool (and My Backup Pro too) doesn't include Shortcuts on the Homescreen (I'm using Zeam Launcher).

Does Titanium include absolutely everything?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
I think R2BA020.

In 023 is for sure.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
I have used My Backup PRO for 2 months till today and today I have tried Titanium Backup beacause I dont want to have both apps on my phone and let me tell you, this app restores your phone to the EXACT state as it were when you made backup. I mean, wallpaper, widgets, shortcuts, data, Market links, EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING ! I havent tried My Backup PRO with root features, without them it worked great 1 month ago when I didnt have root but I have decided to dump one of these apps since I hate to have 2 apps that do the same thing and Titanium was first choice because it has ability to uninstall stock apps after root AND it restores all apps with one click, no manual confirmation for installation. Those are 2 major and BIG advantages of Titanium Backup over MyBackup PRO.

Hope it helps :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] scott2121210:
Fantastic! I will give Titanium Backup a go but it certainly sounds promising. My device is not rooted but if it worked for you then I am sure the same will be for me.

Thanks again

Scott
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Hm, you cant use Titanium if you are not rooted :-\ Also, non rooted phones cannot backup Market links and data in apps. For non rooted phones MyBackup PRO is the only solution and the best one, that for sure.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] scott2121210:
Yea you are correct...I am not rooted and it therefore did not work.

I will go check out MyBackup PRO and see how I get on.

Thanks again for all your assistance.

Kind regards

Scott
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
I have accidentally bricked my phone do to some tests on modding :D

So before that I use SE backup and restore and Titanium to back up apps and data.

after re-rooting, first I use SE restore and restored basics.

and Titanium first to restore all my apk files and then selective applications of data.

Im have easily got my previous state around 95% of it

I would recommend SE backup and restore and Titanium combination strongly to any one.:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
What does TB backup ? Because MyBackup PRO backups SMS, contacts, call logs, apps, market links, settings, only thing that it DOES NOT backup are widgets and wallpaper. I read on other forum that Titanium does not backup SMS and contacts, WTF ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
sms, contacts, call log stuff will cover by SE backup and restore.

for me, all my contacts are sync with Google mail. so i just need to sign-in, automatically all will sync with out backup.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
That means that Titanium does not cover that !?!? MyBackup PRO covers all of that, I cannot believe that TB does not do that.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] crimper:
You got to be kidding ;). Titanium will backup *everything*. No app without root access (such as MBP) will do the same.

SMS is called "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 1.6"

Contacts data is called "[Contacts/Calls] Contacts Storage 1.6"

Look at the Legend - "green" is "system service with useful data" and filter by "system" in the Backup/Restore list.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
I also was really suprised when I saw this:

http://androidforums.com/android-applications/128633-mybackup-pro-need-help.html

And I have abandoned MyBackup PRO because I dont want to have 2 apps that do the same thing and TB was better because it could uninstall apps after root. But my schedule backup in TB does not work !?!? It is ON and on ignore list in Task Manager but no backup was made :mad:

EDIT: MBP also has root acces.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
Well, is something strange.

The schedule is working but it seems is missing some tasks.

At least on my phone.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Nope, mine says with red letters next backup and writes date and hour but when that passes it only says next time when it is scheduled but also says "No backups yet". Really have no clue why is that so...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGC313:
Okay guys i'm coming towards the end of my contract and will soon be saying goodbye to my beloved Hero. I have short listed either the:

*HTC Desire or *Samsung Galaxy S

Both have amazing specs and the price's don't bother me.

Can anyone help me sway towards one of them! With reasons :)

Much appreciated :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver2kgti:
sell the hero and buy both of em. :eek::D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweedie:
I am in the same boat as you. I am sort of inclinded towards the Samsung, purely for the following reasons:-

1. Dedicated graphic chip

2. Super Amoled

3. lighter, thinner and battery suppose to be awsome.

4. 2gb rom

5. Source code freely available.

6. Its not HTC - something different.

Possible downsides of samsung

1. Some GPS issues?

2. Touchwiz seems a mixed views.

3. No LED flash

4. No trackpad

5. Seems samsung doesn't have a good track record of updates (ie behold)

gsmarena is usually good for comparing

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulpoff:
Frankly, i went the logical way and got myself a Desire, but soon realized i rather have a smaller phone and ended up with x10mini which does 99% of what any other android phone, but weights half as much and takes virtually no space. So may be give it a try or wait for sony x8.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGC313:
Thanks for the respones guys.

@silver2kgti

Haha I wish! If only the Hero sold for a bit more...

@tweedie

I agree the dedicated graphics chip and amoled screen is the reason for my debate!

IMO Touchwiz is inferior to Sense but i'm using LauncherPro atm anyway and yea the lack of flash is a disappointment but apparently it has nightmode and daymode

that actually makes a difference?

@pulpoff

What were your opinions on the Desire? Much the same as the Hero except improved hardware?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweedie:
actually, I went a head and got myself a samsung galaxy s. :) and over the moon with it.

It is indeed a really awsome screen, bright and clear. not slow at all, and the boot up is literally seconds! battery life is surprisingly good. Touchwiz isn't too bad actually. some software on there is a bit pointless (like social hub that simply connects to the webpages, Daily Briefing seems american webpages and can't change it). FM radio isn't bad either - still have to connect your headphones but it can play through speakers.

Its incredibly light and thin. It does feel plastiky at the back, and cos its so thin it feels like its gonna break!

So far, the downside is that the GPS doesn't seems that accurate or fast. side by side with htc hero - hero wins.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
I think you forgot to flash Radio ROM - look into thread of the ROM you flashed, there must be info about radios which are "approved" :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] calen8:
thing is i dont know which rom is flashed right now and ive no idea about the radio also.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
First of all - if you want to do something - read first and gather some info, otherwise you'll have problems.

And if the problem really is with radio, then try THIS first, it should help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
just flash a high version radio, which should work regardless of what rom is there.

2.12.50.x or 2.10.50, one of them.

[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:

Ok I don't think this is possible. The Cisco vpn client uses a signature file of some sort as well as the rsa token. That's the first issue. The second one is that I don't believe theres a place to put an rsa token. Most likely we would need a Cisco client.

Oh and in the future please note this belongs in q&a and please use titles where you are asking if this is possible. Your title makes it seem like you know how as opposed to asking a question.

2.5.0.1 for Incredible (img file)

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-inc.img

To flash with unrEVOked v3.0:

1) Do NOT plug in your phone

2) Run the unrEVOked v2.1 app on the PC

3) Choose FILE --> CUSTOM RECOVERY

4) Navigate to the .img file downloaded

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-inc.img

5) Plug in your phone

edit....just read this also

If you have Rom Manager installed, you can install this really easily.

1) Run Rom Manager

2) Select All ClockworkMod Recoveries

3) Select 2.5.01

4) Select Reboot into Recovery

5) It will install automatically

after flashing from Rom Manager and it reports ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.1 and then sending command adb reboot recovery, it shows at bootup ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.0.1.3

why does it not list a boot 2.5.0.1 ?

I then access on phone Rom Manager (again) and it asks for SU permission and installs (again) 2.5.0.1

shows up as 2.5.0.1 for me, at the recovery screen.

did the re-install work?

[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
Access Market, search Rom Manager and pick the one at top

Once installed, you can do an update and it should all work automatically

Rom Manager allows you to customize, update, backup the phone
[HTC Aria General] Cinderous:
I had an issue where installing this version and trying to reboot into recovery would juse leave me with that "!" graphic and I fixed it by reverting back to 2.5.0.0.

[HTC Aria General] GameGod72:

I'm using the non-paid version of ROM Manager and when I try to update to 2.5.0.1 it says the following error message after confirming that I have an HTC Evo:

"An error occurred while flashing your recovery"

Any ideas. Please and thank you.
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
the only thing i could think of is perhaps the version you installed via rom manager is somehow in a different location than the other version? perhaps its looking in a different spot for the recovery info, so it loads a different version.

have you tried flashing it to a different version of clockwork? if so, do you still receive the same error?
[HTC Aria General] alizonmi:
if i have Amon RA Recovery and want to install clockwork recovery, how do i go about this?

I allowed SU permissions

None of the previous versions under All Clockwork Recoveries work either.

PS - I'm new to rooting; just did it today & reading up today. However, this is one I can't seem to find an answer to yet.
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
sideloading refers to unrestricted ability to load any .apk you wish from any source, including non-market

on a rooted Aria, it is accomplished simply by running a small batch file in the SDK tools folder, ie. assuming SDK is on c:\android\tools

cd\android\tools

adb remount

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

pause 1

adb reboot

Hey guys, new to the Android scene. I finally got my Evo, and rooted it using the latest SimpleRoot OTA Edition. I think I'm rooted; I went along with the videos and did exactly what they did, and everything worked fine.

I'm also getting the "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" when I try to do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" option. Not sure what to do now.

Also, this may be just by coincidence, but ever since I rooted the phone, it hasn't connected to 4G. Do I need to update something else, or am I just getting a bad connection by coincidence?

If I were to brick my phone, what would be the options I had to resolve the issue?

Is there any way I could revert to my official recovery that HTC put on the phone so i could send it back to HTC under warranty?

Or could I resolve the issue in any other way?

I havent yet managed to do so, but I may eventually do this :o :p
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
If you truly brick your phone then you can't really do anything with it. What a lot of people consider bricked however can usually be recovered. Most any operating system failure can be unbricked. Just don't flash anything that messes with the bootloader and you're actually pretty safe.
